Chelsea v Manchester City predictions

I cannot separate these two sides so I’m going for a 1-1 draw. It should be a great game. Chelsea’s win over Atletico Madrid on Wednesday was one of the best performances I’ve seen away from home in Europe for a long time.

Man United v Crystal Palace predictions

It’s difficult to see where Palace go from here if they suffer another big defeat at Old Trafford. After the international break it doesn’t get any easier as they play Chelsea. And if the teams around them pick up a few points it just gets worse and worse for Roy Hodgson.

Arsenal v Brighton predictions

Arsenal’s trip to Belarus in the Europa League should not get in the way of three points against Brighton. However Arsene Wenger can’t take underestimate Chris Hughton’s side. That’s where some managers are coming unstuck at the moment, taking teams lightly. We saw that when Tottenham played Swansea at Wembley with Heung-min Son playing left wing-back and Liverpool making six changes against Burnley. You have to play your best team and if they do the Gunners should win easily.

Newcastle v Liverpool predictions

Liverpool could have won 10-1 in the Champions league after the chances they created the other night. With the attacking talent at their disposal they will always create chances and at St James’ Park I don’t see it being any different. Newcastle, backed by their home crowd will also go for it which could play into Jurgen Klopp’s hands. I did initially write down 3-0 to Liverpool but I’m going to have to change my mind to 3-1 because I don’t trust Liverpool at the back. However Liverpool are class going forward and I’d be shocked if Newcastle coped with them.
